Difficulty enabling location services for Editorial in iOS 8.4
-
iOS 8.4, iPhone 4S.
I can verify this behavior. One thing I notice - under Location Services, Editorial was listed but the setting wouldn't stick when I'd set it to Always. When it did stick, my location.is_authorized() still returned false. Any of the times I got the setting to stay Always, I never saw the Location Services arrow next to the setting. The one time I did see it, Editorial then disappeared from the list of apps. I've restarted the phone but Editorial is still missing from the list of apps under Location Services.

I can also confirm this behavior, iPod Touch, iOS8.4, with Bluetooth GPS unit. With Pythonista it works OK, but not in Editorial.
-
Was there any more information on this? I seem to be running into the same issue on iOS 9. There's no privacy entry for location and the location methods don't seem to be doing anything.
-
Not too much to add other than I'm experiencing this as well. I did manage to get Editorial to appear once in Location Services (though it was never requested access). Turning it to Always didn't make a difference and it later disappeared.
location.is_authorized() # always returns false location.start_updates() # does nothing location_data = location.get_location() # always returns None -
Still seems to be an issue under 9.1. Any eta on a fix?

Hi, any update on this problem? Tested on both iphone and ipad in 9.2.1 beta and still an issue.
-
Having the same issue on my iPhone 6S Plus. Editorial does not show up in the Location Services list here on iOS 9.2.1
-
Same problem here. I never get the prompt to authorize, and the setting is not offered in the control panel. If I attempt to use the module, I get "None" in response.
-
A workaround: use the "Open x-callback URL" action in conjunction with Pythonista or Workflow to get the location. I actually go through a Workflow workflow that asks Pythonista to re-format decimal degree coordinates into degrees-minutes-seconds. Scriptable iOS FTW!

@alpiarian Thanks, great suggestion. Would you be able to share a sample workflow? My understanding of X-callback is limited... I've made an editorial workflow that calls Pythonista to get a location, but cannot figure out how to return that variable to editorial. (I know, probably a very newbie question). Thanks for any pointers you have.
